As an exemplar, This Is Essential Fusion!

Possibly the one Progressive Fusion album you must have first. Almost everyone will like this -- In part because it is so approachable. Not nearly so intellectual as John McLaughlin and much easier to get into. Brilliantly recorded and engineered it is one of my standard albums for equalizing a room (all of Joni Mitchell post 1976 is another, as is all of Steely Dan post 1976 except for Katie Lied ). This album lead me to further efforts from all the band members.

By the way Lenny White is BRILLIANTLY captured on this album.

It must have been electric for the four of these artists to collaborate on this album. I had to read up on just what an Alembic Bass was after hearing Stanley Clark wail away. There are Four Lead Musicians on this album. I mention Al DeMiola elsewhere...
